During the 2013 Bay Area Maker Faire, Electric Imp distributed an astonishing 40-plus pounds of M&Ms with our Internet connected SnackBot. Hundreds of attendees loved it, so we decided to share how we built it.

Our SnackBot is based around the Electric Imp, a hardware, software and cloud-based platform that makes it easy to connect just about anything to the Internet. If you are new to Electric Imp, you can check out our Instructables on Getting Started With the Electric Imp, which will guide you through the process of getting your imp online and running some basic code.

This project involves a bit of soldering (and desoldering), and should take you about 2-3 hours to complete!

great indestructible! This got me thinking, im trying to make a imp electronic door lock and my issue is to make the DC motor stop after i started it, so with the values you set on the Agent side 0.4,0.8, will test that this weekends. Im glad i ran into this! Thanks man

I did something very similar to this last year using twitter and searching for the hashtag #candy4greg. A great way of being fed candy at random times, the only issue was getting to the dispenser before the kids did :P http://labby.co.uk/?s=candy4greg
